Teaching Energy to High School Students
The target audience of this post is teachers and parents who are supporting children with their physics education. Young people are welcome to read it (they may find it interesting) but it could cause extra confusion for all but the most capable students. Brace yourself, this is a long post! (8325 words, estimated 44 minutesContinueContinue reading “Teaching Energy to High School Students”

End of the academic year, at last!
Congratulations for getting to the end of the academic year!
A Level Physics: Uncertainties and Errors
I’m running an addition session at 1pm today, looking at uncertainties and errors. This is mainly for Year 13 physicists who have their Paper 3 exam next week, but it’s open to anyway. The link to the stream is here: https://youtube.com/live/eOt0zChIV_A?feature=share https://youtube.com/live/eOt0zChIV_A See you then!
Everyone has to get marks somewhere
How do Examination Boards ensure there is a spread of marks? Well, I have an idea…
